I know benches don't mean squat to most people but I would barely crack 2k before the Rom swap and oc.

It almost makes the phone feel intuitive.

As for the theming its the Rom I'm on. I'm using Coredroid.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Aww... I want coredroid but don't want the digitized audio sound :-(
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
What are you talking about by digitized audio?My phone sounds the same as day 1 when it was stock.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
Odd, especially since everyone else with any non ATT stock rooted roms is still reporting digitized audio issues, altho some pretend it doesn't exist. I tried to pretend, but I'm somewhat picky about audio quality.
[HTC Inspire 4G] booty hater:
Give the latest version a try. A lot of people are reporting the same as far as stock sounding audio.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I did. Same issue, not as bad as when inspire roms first came out but still noticeably digital... but maybe I'm just too picky.

[Epic 4G General] cswee1932:
Well, on January 19th I cracked the screen on my Epic when it fell off my truck. It's been at best buy since then, well they finally called me today to tell me they're junking it out and they have a replacement ready for me.

Well, I live in upstate NY and have been in Chicago all week, so hearing that voicemail today I got all excited and went straight to the store to pick up my new Epic (Ready to throw my old stand in Hero against the wall). I get to the store and they don't have any in stock! Idiots...so after 30 minutes on the phone, i'm going to another store aobut 15 miles away to pick up a new Epic...FINALLY!

Just would advise anyone thinking of Best Buy as your insurer to think twice...I know I'll most likely cancel this service as soon as I receive my new Epic. I'm sure many people have had great experiences with them, but this has totally turned me off...geek squad is a joke as they don't know what they are doing and they each seem to have their own take on what their policy is.

well, i'll shut up and look forward to getting back into the fun with my Epic again....I miss this sooo much!

[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Over a month for a replacement? LOL
[Epic 4G General] Dvin211:
Thanks for the heads up on Best buy. I'm on my third Epic and the turn around at the Sprint store was always one day.
[Epic 4G General] shook187:
Dude stick with the sprint insurance. I went through 2 phones and both times got them the very next day.
[Epic 4G General] cswee1932:
Definitely going the Sprint route next time around. BB is a joke, the Geek Squad in store staff is terrible as they don't even know their own policy...One of the PT girls in the mobile department was the one who told me to call their 800 number because they should be replacing the phone after 30 days. It bothers me that the only person who is of help is a college girl who I imagine works part time...I'm definately going to find the store manager and her mobile manager to thank her for her help....as for their geek sqaud, they can eat it!

Chris....oh yeah, can I start up sprint insurance at this point? Not getting the phone from sprint?
[Epic 4G General] jbadboy2007:
I cracked my screen too a couple days ago at 6pm I made my insurance claim. I had a new phone at my door by 10 am. So fn nice.

Epic 4g
[Epic 4G General] Trickee360:
At least you got a brand new phone. I love the price and turn around on my Sprint insurance, but I'm about to recieve my 3rd refurb because the previous two had hardware defects. At this point I'd wet myself if someone told me I could have and actual, new phone.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
After the fourth you can.
[Epic 4G General] MedicStuder:
That's what I was thinking....wow. I have never bought a cellphone from best buy but is this normal for them? I have only bought computers from them. Just from my experience with best buy and a laptop I use to have I will never let geak squad touch anything of mine and won't buy their insurance

Sent from my EB13 Samsung Epic
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
The thing to realize about the best buy "black tie" insurance is that no matter what you do to your phone they'll either repair it or give you a new one no questions asked or fees charged, one month turn around excluded it's a pretty great idea.
[Epic 4G General] cswee1932:
The idea is great, but the execution is extremely poor...as in the right hand doesn't know what the left is doing.

I store near me seems to be one of the worst, from reviews I've read of the location.

I stopped by their store on monday to see, since that was the day AFTER it was promised to be ready on my invoice...nothing. BUT they promised to escalate with an email (more on that later).

The next day I left for Chicago to visit some family, and the first thing I did on wednesday morning was stop by a local best buy out there, heck there were 2 within 2 miles of where I was staying.

The store I stopped into was somewhat helpful, more so than my home store...they geek that looked at my info said he could escalate the case, but couldn't exchange in their store since the work order wasn't generated in their store...when he offered to escalate with an email I told him that was done 2 days ago...he pulled up the screen and said nothing was in the system, and generated an email to escalate.

Even after calling their 800 number minutes later to get clarification on their policy of handsets being replaced in the homestore, the lady on the phone pulled up the file and said "oh you were just in our chicago store" noting the excalation...I asked her if there was one from my home store, she said nope!

A-holes!

On paper this plan is well worth it, the problem is execution!

[Epic 4G General] djbacon06:
I guess the question then is, do the new epics come loaded with eb13 or di18?
[Epic 4G General] blastboi:
this is a little off topic but best buy insurance sucks i had a laptop that stayed there for a month and got it back and half of the problems sitll there they fixed my screen but i had no sound though the audio ports and battery lasted for 10 mins... so i just ordered the parts (ebay) myself and fixed it myself
[Epic 4G General] klownin816:
Black tie definitely sucks! My wife and I both have epics, she has black tie and I have the TEP. Well she dropped her phone a while back and cracked the screen, took it to best buy for repair. It took them over a month for it to get repaired. The idiots sent it off with the wrong serial number, so the repair shop sent it right on back. She sent it off in November and didn't get it until past the new year...

If you need a loaner phone from them while it gets repaired, you'll have to pay a $100 to use that loaner phone. Sure you'll get it back when you return the phone but what's the point of paying 10 a month?

I on the other hand, had issues with my headphone jack, went into the sprint store and right then and there they tried fixing my phone. It coudln't be fixed on site, so they just gave me a new phone. I was in the store for just about an hour. It's the way to go.

One more thing the TEP covers that Black Tie doesn't is lost or theft. If you lose your phone, your screwed under black tie. Under the TEP, you'll have to pay the $100 deductible, but at least you won't have to rebuy the phone at full price. She's switching over to TEP for sure now. Just like the previous poster stated, great idea, poor execution...
[Epic 4G General] Jayavarman:
Was she hot?
[Epic 4G General] cswee1932:
Actually she is! But she also was more help than the people who should know more than her!

On a side note, the store is near the state university, that should also answer your question.

Is this directed at me? Please do explain! :)
[Epic 4G General] 5FOOTER:
I have had the bb black tie for years now any issues with any phone they just give me a new one. Plus I got my epic for 10.24 the cost of the black tie. For me its been great kind of like getting upgraded phones for free. And im still up for a sprint 2 year upgrade on 11-11-11.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RatRedux:
What's it not doing? Not announcing?

I played around with mine and eventually got it to work. For example I unchecked the "high priority only" on the message alert and got that to finally work. Not sure what constitutes a "high priority" other than any message from my wife, lol!

@RatRedux, thanks for your response! :) I just can't assign it to a button, also, I've the American version, and it can't really understand my British accent in most commands...how did you assign a button?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] engager:
managed to remap the registry key as follows:

# Goto HKLM\Software\ Microsoft\Shell\Keys

* - Click Open Key named "40C6"

* - Change the 'Default' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"

* - Now change the 'ResetCmd' string name to "\Windows\Voice Command.lnk"

Now close Registry, and go back to device and click the button on the top left side which is indicated by the 'Speak' Icon, and it should now work for you! :)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RatRedux:
I only ever used voice commands with my bluetooth headset so I never bothered to set a button on the phone. It works most of the time but it doesn't help that my wife and neice and daughter and sister in law have similar sounding names so it occasionally wants to dial the wrong relative lol! I turned off the announce incoming calls since my Blueant T1 has it's own built in voice caller ID. Though I must admit the lady who lives inside my phone sounds a bit nicer than the lady inside the bluetooth! :D

We haven't figured out how to set up Google voice in my wife's Android phone so I must give my old "brick" (as my wife calls it) a nod since it worked right away even on my old junk headset.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whitenoiz:
Since upgrading to Gingerbread 2.3.3, I've lost the root access I had on Froyo. I used the RageAgainstTheCage method before and found that worked well. I could easily re-root after each update to Froyo, but it doesn't work now that I have updated to Gingerbread.

Is there a 1-Click Root or something fairly simple, similar to RageAgainstTheCage perhaps, that I can use to root my device

without

unlocking the bootloader??

I've heard some people mention Ginger Break?

Thanks, Steve.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
No.

Whatever 'Gingerbreak' is is unreleased yet, apparently the dev wants a few more devices in the wild first.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Simple? Sure...

fastboot oem unlock
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxwolfe:
So if my bootloader is unlocked what else do I have to do at that point, push a custom recovery? I was under the impression that none had been updated for 2.3 on the nexus one yet.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matasapi:
same problem with me.. waiting for simple one..
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Recovery is version independent. Flash one, then use it to flash ChainsDD's su files.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GldRush98:
Yup, flash a new recovery, then use the recovery to flash on the su update file :)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxwolfe:
Alright cool thanks, didn't want to come off as ignorant on the matter but to be honest sometimes it feels like getting detailed information is kinda tough with all the threads that get created on the same subject and how large some of them get.

Does the rageagainstthecage method not work on 2.3.3???
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] highvista:
Reports I've read indicate that the rageagainstthecage exploit doesn't work for 2.3.3.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
If the soft-root exploits don't work on 2.3.3, simply downgrade to a 2.2 version, soft-root it, install a custom recovery and then flash a root 2.3.3 ROM...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I'm not completely certain, but I don't think you can downgrade either. At least I've not heard of anyone succeeding with the passimg approach yet...

Anyone need help???? :cool:
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abvthegod:
but if i downgrade to 2.2.2 and root the n1 while its in 2.2.2. Wont it come out of root when I put the stock 2.3.3 on. Atleast for me the whole reason I went to 2.2.2 is so i can get the stock verison of gingerbread. I do want to root my phone but I dont wanna use a different rom as of now I wanna keep the stock verison of gingerbrad that I got from google. I guess my real question is without the ramble, Once I downgrade and root the Phone wont I lose root once I put the stock 2.3.3
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Just install a pre-rooted stock 2.3.3...

I have successfully downgraded from stock GRI40 to FRG33 (via PASSIMG), rooted, flashed custom recovery and finally flashed a stock rooted GRI40.

Superboot requires an unlocked bootloader...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Is it just me that doesn't see the point of the superboots? If you're savvy enough to flash that, then you're clearly capable of flashing a new recovery?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Superboot is way after the recovery stage.

Superboot allows to run ADB in privileged mode - ADB shell gives you "#" by default, and "adb remount" and other root-only adb commands are allowed.

Just flashing su and Superuser.apk doesn't give you that.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
Ah yeah, forgot about ro.secure=0

Fair do's, back in my hole it is then :D
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yep.

Still, you're right about it being meant for those who have their bootloaders unlocked, and not helpful for those looking for 1-click solutions.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tenkely:
Hmmm I still cannot seem to flash that file, signature verification failed... weird.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foxwolfe:
What recovery are you running? Amon Ra for example has a toggle for turning off signature verification (just before you flash a zip).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I didn't sign the file, and it may have an old signature in there (I patched it together quickly).

You will need to toggle signature verification from recovery...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivang2010:
hi guys,

so, actually there isn't yet a working method for N1 devices without unlocked bootloader and without to flash the already rooted rom?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Yes, there isn't.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
You may be able to roll back to an earlier version of android, and root that (works for some, but not all)...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivang2010:
well, it's a bit shame to rollback... actually I'll wait a little bit again and let's hope someone will create a new tool for this... else, at this point, will think seriously to unlock the bootloader.

Thanks anyway guys!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
Rolling back is only a temporary step to gain root. Once rooted, you can install a pre-rooted 2.3.3, or whatever else you like...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ivang2010:
ah, didn't think in this way... but let me know, with a pre-rooted 2.3.3 installed, the system will still receive official OTA?

thnx!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
If it's stock pre-rooted, yes, but installing an update will lose root, so you may aswell just flash pre-rooted updates from now on...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zmalach:
without unlocking the Bootloader

Comon, the guy said WITHOUT UNLOCKING THE BOOTLOADER, we know there are loads of threads on the forum to root the N1 2.3.3 with an unlocked bootloader.

So please can someone help us with a simple solution to root the Gingerbread N1 without unlocking the Bootloader...is just the phone will look dirty with an unlocked pad image at boot!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rusty!:
The answer is no. No simple option.

If you want rooted GB and a locked bootloader, roll back to 2.2 like every thread on the subject says.

Unlock the bootloader is useless, and void the waranty.

Why the developers do not make a soft for us ?

Excuse me for my bad english, i'm french ^^
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albundy2010:
Having a locked bootloader is useless.

HTC honors the warranty on phones with unlocked bootloaders.

This entire I don't want to unlock bootloader thing really comes down to one thing. I don't want to see the padlock on boot. Which is just some straight up bull****.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cdef:
Actually, it comes down to multiple "things".

There doesn't seem to be one true, complete guide

There are many different versions of the files needed to unlock the bootloader. Which one is the most up to date or "official"?

Everyone acts like it is the easiest thing in the world to do, yet every "complete" guide misses steps that the authors simply tag on later 500 pages further into the forum

If its really sooooo easy, why can't one person take the time to compile EVERYTHING in one archive? I'm talking about the fastboot binary, Amon Ra recovery, pre-rooted image, and instructions.

It is really irritating to have to go to 20 different websites with instructions written in broken English. The fact that most of you people simply say "oh its so easy lolz" just frustrates the rest of us. I'm not stupid, but I don't have time to read 6000 threads across 40 forums to figure this out.

THIS is why people like simple one-click root programs. I apologize if I'm coming off as lazy or overly negative. I'm just trying to share the perspective of the common user who is interested in rooting Android.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danger-rat:
I agree, while the wiki isn't a complete cluster, it does have a lot of problems...

That's why I don't mind helping out when/if I can. I have learned a lot from this site, and I'm more than happy to give back...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] efrant:
A few things:

1) There is ONLY ONE method to unlock the bootloader, and it has been documented many times: install the Android SDK including the drivers for your OS, boot your phone into the bootloader and plug it in to your computer, open a command prompt in the android-sdk/tools directory, type "fastboot oem unlock" and follow the instructions on your device. That is it. There is NO other way to unlock the bootloader on a Nexus One. There are NO other files needed; only the Android SDK, so your comment about the different versions of files is way off base.

2) Once you manage to unlock your bootloader, there are many users here, including me, who would be willing to help you flash a custom recovery like Amon_RA or CWM, although, again, there is only one way to do so: by typing in fastboot flash recovery insertnameofyourrecoveryhere.img at the same command prompt as before. Nothing more to it than that. Just pick a recovery you want and flash it. Again, no other files needed besides whatever recovery you choose.

3) Everyone acts like it is easy, because it is. All it takes is a little bit of reading, not a lot. No one is saying you are stupid, but if you think that you have to read "6000 threads across 40 forums" to figure it out, then either you have not figured out how to search properly, or have a mental block when it relates to this site. There are many helpful users here (e.g., danger-rat) that will guide you through most things you are having difficulties with.

4) Keep in mind before you rant away, that this is xda-developers.com, not xda-troubleshoot-my-device.com, nor xda-give-me-a-one-click-for-all-my-needs.com. Let me refer you to a post by kyphur,one of our moderators from a while back, that sums it all up: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2031989&postcount=45. If this last point doesn't mean anything to you, well, there are dozens of Android user sites out there, no need for you to frequent an Android developer site.
